Cancer among people with severe mental illness (SMI) and their trajectories of treatments and prognoses

  • Applicant: Chin-Kuo Chang
  • Project ID: 19-007

People with severe mental disorders have higher mortality after a cancer diagnosis. We will use a linkage of CRIS with local cancer registry, mortality, and hospital episode statistics (HES), to see if people with mental health disorders or dementia have a higher risk of cancer, and/or less adequate treatment, and/or worse treatment outcomes.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
